AROLD's AFRICA ADVENTURE

On an old Yamaha XT 500

You can find here some stories, pictures and facts of my trip from The Netherlands to South Africa. This trip took me 1.5 year, I spent 50.000 km's on an old motor-cycle and used some luck.

This was the best thing I ever did and I like to share it with you.

This site isn't made for winning the "most fanciful home page price". The purpose of this site is only that you'll get an idea of how I experienced that beautiful continent. That very different continent. Unknown by a lot of people. With all her troubles and all her beauty. There is not a single day that I don't think of Africa and the African people.

Welcome to a special continent, called Africa.

Below you'll find a map of Africa. You can click on the images to enlarge them. You'll find also a description together with the pictures. In the future I'll add some pictures or I'll exchange them. I did my best to keep the pictures small as possible with still a reasonable quality.
The blue spots do show you a part translated from my diary or just a story. The yellow marked spots are not ready yet.

The 21 countries I travelled from the North to the South in Africa are: Spain (enclave), Morocco, Algeria, Niger, Nigeria, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Za´re, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland, Transkei (I count this as a country) and Namibia.
